The EU demands end to Croatian-Slovenian border dispute
On April 25 the European parliament voted on the EU's progress report for Croatia. It calls for Croatia to resolve its border dispute with Slovenia "once and for all". Stojan Zitko comments: "It also points out to Slovenia that the EU also expects this part of Europe to reach a definitive agreement about borders at some point, without external pressure on both states. The appointment of a mediator instead of the initially proposed arbitration tribunal is a symbolic gesture, because it's not yet clear that we can't reach an agreement on our own. However, it's not just with Slovenia that Croatia has problems regarding its borders, it also has problems with other neighbours."

Two years after EU enlargement
Nearly 90 percent of Slovenians were in favour of the country joining the EU in a referendum held prior to accession. According to Stojan Zitko, the two years "within this complex union" have "obviously gone well". Opinion polls indicate that today "more than 80 percent of Slovenian citizens would again vote for EU membership. After all, what's the alternative? But some are asking whether, in view of our relative smallness, we are at all visible, effective or even capable of acting as a jointly responsible member."
